Resolution 1 – Adoption of Remuneration Report

The Board continues to focus on the Company's remuneration framework, reflecting on past feedback and the current strategic direction of the business to determine how remuneration can best support the future needs of the Company.

Remuneration framework

In 2012, a comprehensive remuneration framework review of the Company's remuneration practices was undertaken, and as part of this process, PricewaterhouseCoopers Australia was commissioned by the Board to design and implement a new remuneration framework in line with current market practices for the Company's size and stature.

As such, the components of total annual remuneration for senior executives include fixed remuneration (comprised of base salary, superannuation and non-monetary benefits), short-term incentive (STI) and long-term incentive (LTI). The annual LTI grant serves to place a large portion of an executive's remuneration at risk and focuses on long-term Shareholder value generation.

Full details of the remuneration framework are provided in the Remuneration Report.

Fixed remuneration

The fixed remuneration levels of senior executives remain relatively conservative when compared to market peers. The fixed remuneration of Directors and Executives has not been increased for 3 years and fixed remuneration has once again been frozen going into FY16.

Short-term incentive

The target value of STI awards for senior executives is set at 50% of their fixed remuneration. The maximum value of STI awards for senior executives is capped at 65% of their fixed remuneration (ie. stretch target). There have been no changes to the STI plan over the past year.

The remuneration report for FY15 includes considerable detail on the Key Performance Indicators that are used to assess performance. STI's awarded in FY15 were marginally above the target level with a strong operational performance in FY15 relative to budget that delivered:

  • § gold production above guidance levels;
  • § costs per tonne milled at budget levels;
  • § cashflow from operations at above budget levels; and
  • § continued improvement in safety performance

Long-term incentive

The Company moved to a Performance Rights Plan in 2012 and this was overwhelmingly approved by shareholders at the 2012 AGM. Grants made under the Performance Rights Plan will vest subject to a relative Total Shareholder Return (TSR) hurdle and a gold Reserve and Resource growth hurdle. More detail on the Performance Rights Plan is disclosed in the Remuneration Report.

The Company, with the introduction of the Performance Rights Plan, has aligned remuneration practices with other companies in Resolute's peer group.

Non-binding resolution

In accordance with subsection 250R(2) of the Corporations Act, the Company must put the Remuneration Report to the vote of Shareholders. The Directors' Report contains the Remuneration Report which sets out the remuneration policy for the Company and the remuneration arrangements for the executive Directors, specified executives and non-executive Directors.

In accordance with subsection 250R(3) of the Corporations Act, Resolution 1 is advisory only and does not bind the Directors of the Company. If Resolution 1 is not passed, the Directors will not be required to alter any of the arrangements in the Remuneration Report.

A reasonable opportunity will be given to Shareholders at the meeting to ask questions about, or make comments on, the remuneration report.

The Corporations Act provides that Shareholders will have the opportunity to remove the whole Board except the managing director if the Remuneration Report receives a 'no' vote of 25% or more (Strike) at two consecutive annual general meetings.

Where a resolution on the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at two consecutive annual general meetings, the Company will be required to put to Shareholders at the second annual general meeting a resolution on whether another meeting should be held (within 90 days) at which all Directors (other than the managing director) who were in office at the date of approval of the applicable Directors' Report must stand for re-election.

The Company's Remuneration Report did not receive a Strike at the last annual general meeting. If the Remuneration Report receives a Strike at this Meeting, Shareholders should be aware that if a second Strike is received at next year's annual general meeting, this may result in the re-election of the Board.

Chairman's intentions

Resolution 1 is an ordinary resolution. The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 1.

If the Chairman is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 1, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel.

Resolution 2 – Election of Mr John Paul Welborn as Director

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.4 and Article 3.3 of the Constitution, the Board may appoint a person to be a Director at any time except during a general meeting. Any Director so appointed:

  • (a) automatically retires at the next annual general meeting and is eligible for re-election by that general meeting; and
  • (b) is not taken into account in deciding the rotation or retirement of Directors or the number of them to retire under article 3.6 of the Constitution at that general meeting.

Resolution 2 therefore provides that Mr John Paul Welborn automatically retires pursuant to article 3.3 of the Constitution and seeks re-election.

A brief resume of Mr Welborn together with details of any other directorships held by Mr Welborn, his length of service as a Director and a statement with regard to whether Mr Welborn is determined by the Board to be an independent director, are contained in the Annual Report or the Company's Corporate Governance Statements.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 2.

The Board (excluding Mr Welborn) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 2.

Resolution 2 is an ordinary resolution.

Resolution 3 – Election of Mr Peter Ross Sullivan as Director

In accordance with Listing Rule 14.4 and article 3.6, a Director must not hold office (without reelection) past the third annual general meeting following the Director's appointment, or 3 years, whichever is longer. Resolution 3 therefore provides that Mr Peter Ross Sullivan retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

A brief resume of Mr Sullivan together with details of any other directorships held by Mr Sullivan, his length of service as a Director and a statement with regard to whether Mr Sullivan is determined by the Board to be an independent director, are contained in the Annual Report or the Company's Corporate Governance Statements.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 3. The Board (excluding Mr Sullivan) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 3.

Resolution 3 is an ordinary resolution.

Resolution 4 – Re-election of Mr Henry Thomas Stuart Price as Director

Article 3.6 of the Constitution requires one third of all Directors, or if their number is not a multiple of three, then the number nearest one-third (rounded upwards in case of doubt) to retire at each annual general meeting.

Article 3.6 of the Constitution also provides that a Director who retires under this article is eligible for re-election.

Resolution 4 therefore provides that Mr Henry Thomas Stuart Price retires by rotation and seeks re-election.

A brief resume of Mr Price together with details of any other directorships held by Mr Price, his length of service as a Director and a statement with regard to whether Mr Price is determined by the Board to be an independent director, are contained in the Annual Report or the Company's Corporate Governance Statements.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 4.

The Board (excluding Mr Price) recommends that Shareholders vote in favour of Resolution 4.

Resolution 4 is an ordinary resolution.

Resolution 5 – Issue of Performance Rights to Mr John Welborn

Background

Resolution 5 seeks Shareholder approval for the issue of 1,515,000 Performance Rights to Mr John Welborn (and/or his nominee). The issue of Performance Rights is subject to the terms of the Performance Rights Plan approved by shareholders in 2012.

The LTI forms a key component of Mr Welborn's total remuneration. A significant portion of his total remuneration is placed at-risk to better align his interests with those of Shareholders, to encourage the production of long-term sustainable growth, and to assist with his retention.

Quantum

The quantum issued for the FY16 LTI grant has been determined with reference to current market practice. For FY16, the dollar value of the LTI grant to Mr Welborn is equivalent to 75% of his fixed remuneration which equals $378,750.

Under the accounting standard AASB 2 Share based Payments, the Company will recognise an expense in the income statement based on the fair value of the Performance Rights over the period from the grant date to the vesting date. The total of the fair value of the Performance Rights on the grant date of 1 July 2015 subject to shareholder approval is $378,750.

Allocation methodology

The number of Performance Rights granted has been calculated by reference to the LTI quantum (ie. $378,750), which is divided by the fair value (FV) of one Performance Right (as determined by a valuation performed on the grant date of 1 July 2015 which quantified the FV as $0.25) as follows:

LTI quantum ($) = Number ofPerformance
FVofonePerformanceRight Rightsgranted

Performance period

Performance is tested over a period of 3 years to ensure that sustainable Shareholder growth has been created.

Notwithstanding that a particular tranche may have passed the relative total shareholder return (TSR) and/or reserve/resource growth hurdles, no Performance Rights will vest unless Mr Welborn remains employed with the Company for the full 3 year period. It is only if one or both of these hurdles are passed and the 3 year service condition is met that the Performance Rights can be exercised into Shares. If Mr Welborn ceases employment before the 3 year service condition is passed then he will forfeit his Performance Rights, unless otherwise determined by the Board.

Vesting conditions and performance hurdles

Performance Rights are allocated to participants, with vesting subject to meeting performance hurdles (measured over the performance period) and remaining employed with the Company.

For the FY16 LTI grant, relative TSR performance will be assessed against the performance of a custom peer group of the following 16 ASX listed gold production companies of a similar size to Resolute as follows:

  • Alacer Gold Corporation OceanaGold Corporation
  • Evolution Mining Ltd Teranga Gold Corporation
    • Perseus Mining Ltd Silver Lake Resources Ltd
  • Regis Resources Ltd Beadell Resources Ltd
Medusa MiningLtd NorthernStar ResourcesLtd
Kingsgate ConsolidatedLtd RameliusResourcesLtd
Endeavour MiningLtd Saracen Mineral HoldingsLtd
St BarbaraLtd TroyResourcesLtd

The vesting schedule for the portion of the LTI linked to the relative TSR performance is as follows:

RelativeTSRperformance PerformanceVesting Outcomes
50th percentile 0%

50th percentile 50%

50th and75thBetweenpercentile Between50%and100%vesting, calculatedonalinear basis.
75th percentile 100%
At or above vesting

Note that Performance Rights that satisfy the relative TSR performance hurdle will be performancequalified only and will not vest and become exercisable until the third anniversary of the grant date.

The vesting schedule for the portion of the LTI linked to the reserves/resource growth performance is as follows:

Reservesand Resources Growthperformance PerformanceVesting Outcomes
ReservesandResourcesdepleted 0%vesting
ReservesandResourcesmaintained 50%vesting
ReservesandResourcesgrownbyupto30% Between50%and100%vesting, calculatedonalinear basis.
ReservesandResourcesgrownby30%or more 100%vesting

No Performance Rights will vest unless Resolute's Reserves and Resources are maintained or grown as at the end of the relevant performance period.

There will be no retesting of performance. Any Performance Rights that fail to become exercisable due to a failure to satisfy the vesting conditions and performance hurdles will lapse and be forfeited.

Chapter 2D of Corporations Act

In accordance with section 200B of the Corporations Act, the Company must not give a benefit in connection with a person's retirement from an office unless it obtains Shareholder approval.

The Performance Rights may, subject to the Board's discretion, vest upon termination of Mr Welborn's employment. The Board has formed the view should this occur, the affected Performance Rights may constitute a benefit in connection with Mr Welborn's retirement from office under section 200B.

Section 200B applies where the benefit is given to a person whose details were included in the Director's Report for the previous financial year. Mr Welborn's details were included in the 2015 Director's Report of the Company.

Chapter 2E of Corporations Act

In accordance with section 208 of the Corporations Act, to give a financial benefit to a related party, the Company must obtain Shareholder approval unless the giving of the financial benefit falls within an exception in sections 210 to 216 of the Corporations Act.

Mr Welborn as a Director is a related party of the Company.

The Board (excluding Mr Welborn) has formed the view that Shareholder approval under section 208 of the Corporations Act is not required for the proposed issue of Performance Rights as the issue constitutes reasonable remuneration for the purposes of section 211 of the Corporations Act.

Listing Rule 10.11

In accordance with Listing Rule 10.11, the Company must not issue or agree to issue equity securities to a Director unless it first obtains Shareholder approval.

As Shareholder approval is sought under Listing Rule 10.11, approval under Listing Rule 7.1 is not required.

Specific information required by Listing Rule 10.13 is provided as follows:

  • a) The Performance Rights will be granted to Mr Welborn (Chief Executive Officer) (and/or his nominee).
  • b) Subject to Shareholder approval being obtained, the number of Performance Rights granted to Mr Welborn has been determined by the allocation methodology formula as outlined above, with 1,515,000 Performance Rights conditionally issued to Mr Welborn.
  • c) The Performance Rights will be issued within 1 month of the date of the Meeting.
  • d) No consideration is payable by Mr Welborn at the time of grant of the Performance Rights or upon the allocation of Shares to which Mr Welborn may become entitled to on the vesting of some or all of the Performance Rights. The grant of Performance Rights has performance hurdles attached to it as set out above.
  • e) A voting exclusion statement for this resolution is included in the Notice.
  • f) There will be no funds raised by the Company as a result of the issue of the Performance Rights to Mr Welborn or upon the allocation of Shares to which Mr Welborn may become entitled to on the vesting of some or all of the Performance Rights.

Chairman's intentions

Resolution 5 is an ordinary resolution.

The Chairman intends to exercise all available proxies in favour of Resolution 5.

If the Chairman of the Meeting is appointed as your proxy and you have not specified the way the Chairman is to vote on Resolution 5, by signing and returning the Proxy Form, you are considered to have provided the Chairman with an express authorisation for the Chairman to vote the proxy in accordance with the Chairman's intention, even though the Resolution is connected directly or indirectly with the remuneration of a member of the Key Management Personnel of the Company.

Board recommendation
